Description

The Artistic Director of Woolly Mammoth is the organization’s creative and cultural leader, responsible for defining and advancing a bold artistic vision that reflects the complexity of our world and pushes the boundaries of theatrical form. The AD curates the season’s programming, commissions and develops new work, and cultivates relationships with a wide range of artists to ensure that WMTC’s artistic work engages local audiences and inspires long-term loyalty, while remaining a national incubator for aesthetic innovation, radical inclusivity, and civic provocation.

The Artistic Director reports directly to the Board of Directors and co-leads the organization in partnership with the Managing Director. Together, they are responsible for setting strategy, guiding institutional planning, stewarding a collaborative staff culture grounded in Woolly’s core principles, and ensuring the organization’s artistic, operational, and financial health. The Artistic Director directly supervises key artistic personnel, including the Director of Connectivity and Associate Artistic Director, the Director of New Work, the BOLD Associate Producer, and the Director of Production, and works closely with the Managing Director and the Board to support governance and strategic direction.

In collaboration with the Managing Director and marketing team, the Artistic Director plays a central role in shaping the theater’s public identity and cultivating audience connection. Through intentional artistic strategy and participation in brand, communications, and engagement efforts, the AD will help grow and diversify the audience, deepen loyalty, and ensure that Woolly’s programming resonates while advancing the company’s values and aesthetic ambition.

The Artistic Director also serves as a key fundraiser and public ambassador for Woolly. The AD will engage donors, funders, and stakeholders in Woolly Mammoth’s mission, and work to ensure the financial health and long-term sustainability of the organization by raising contributed revenue, expanding networks, and activating community support for WMTC’s adventurous work.
